Why you should tag your pages

• Tagging your pages is crucial for recommending articles on your site. The better the recommendations, the more time your users will spend on your site, which will improve your web search rankings and develop those users into brand experts.
• Being able to provide recommended articles elevates you as the authority on your own content, empowers you to show the breadth of your product documentation, and enables users to engage with content that is most relevant to their current tasks and interests.

Tag wisely

• Choose meaningful tags that help identify related or unique content. Terms that may be used to search for a particular article—but do not appear in that article—are excellent candidates for tags.
• The more tags you apply to a page, the less weight each tag carries. For best performance, limit the number of page tags to five.
• It is generally not necessary to tag a page with relevant terms that ap pear repeatedly in the page title, summary, or body. If key terms only appear once or twice in an article, and that article is not being recommended as expected during Search, add the search terms as tags to boost the likelihood of that article appearing as a search result.
• Use singular words instead of plural for tags. The exception is plural word that are almost exclusively used related to your content, like "analytics" instead of "analytic."
• Give related pages, or articles that expand on a subject, the same tags.Tags help relate content and "pick" recommended articles.
